Have you ever struggled with transferring or storing a massive file? Meet File Splitter & Merger, an open-source project designed to simplify this challenge with elegance and efficiency.
What Does This Project Do?
File Splitter & Merger consists of two tools:
File Splitter — divides large files into smaller chunks.
File Merger — reassembles those chunks into the original file
Why Is It Useful?
Handling very large files can be daunting, especially when it comes to transferring or storing them. These tools allow you to split a file into manageable pieces and then reconstruct the original file from those fragments.
File Splitter
This program splits an input file into smaller pieces of a specified size. Each chunk is saved as a separate file.
Usage:
- Copy the file you want to split.
- Run the program, providing the file path and chunk size in bytes. For example:
./splitter file_name 1048576
- To reassemble your file, type:
./unsplitter file_name
Technologies
The project utilizes basic system tools and CMake for compilation, making it accessible across multiple platforms. It’s written in C/C++, ensuring performance and compatibility.
